My around town daily hauler!
Wow...I love my Rav, even with the old style swing out rear door, its a cool factor and I have the space under the rear floor that is perfect for groceries! Very dependable and nimble around town vehicle, there's just not much to not like about it. I purchased mine used with about 52K miles from the second owner who I knew. They were purchasing a new 2017. It was purchased new and serviced from our local Toyota Dealer exclusively and they had all the service records from day/mile one. Over the now eight year history it has never missed a service interval. I purchased the vehicle in October 2016 (cash) and have only replaced the battery, had a break job and just put on new tires at this last service interval at 89K miles. That's it folks...nothing else has been done to it and it gets around 26 mpg consistently. At eight years old it has a few battle scars...what eight year old car doesn't have shopping cart or door dings?! When my friend gets ready to trade that 2017...I told him to call me!

1st New Car in 10 years
I am a leasing the new 2011 Rav4 after Subaru refused to even negotiate on their comparable Outback.. ok?? Anyway, am very happy with the RAV with the most complaint over the front cup holders. Beside the fact of being place DIRECTLY in front of one of the only 2 ac outlets, it is designed for a can and about that size only. The height of the holders limit any water bottle and cause it to topple. I can't believe Toyota, who caters to the stylistas of the Lexus buyers would accept the placement of the cup holders. That vented, the only other complaint would be is the backup camera which has a fisheye view and is very misleading. I hope Toyota can am mend these flaws in 2012, otherwise awesome!
RAV4 Limited Is a Gas Hog
Purchased my RAV4 on 5-27-2011 and already wish I could afford to trade it in on something else. Its awful gas mileage is affecting my lifestyle because now I don't go anywhere that I don't have to, at an average 16mpg (and I drive "lightly" and carefully). The vehicle itself is fine; I am glad it is a little larger than previous editions. The fittings, cup holders, etc., are all fine (I'm not picky, I just want transportation). At 16mpg, I might as well be driving a monster truck rather than a smallish SUV. This will be my second and last Toyota, because it replaces a well-tended Highlander that needed $3000 in repairs and failed its legendary durability reputation. Bye bye, Toyota.
Maybe a CR-V would make me happier
I bought this 3 weeks ago and have driven it 4000 miles. Here are my grips: My arms and hands hurt at the end of every day of driving, high steering effort. Three spoke steering wheel blocks the most convenient hand placement to rest hands. Car skidding (Slip or VSC off) and Trac Off warning lights occassionally illuminate when driving on dry, level pavement. Trac Off light stays on till the car is turned off. VSC turns on and off randomly. Seats not comfortable. Crap radio on base model. SUV handling. Swinging tailgate inconvenient. Fit&Finish not up to Toyota. A bit noisy. High brake pedal effort, i hope it to subsides w/ break-in.
